Lebanese President Michel Aoun led a delegation to Kuwait Tuesday (January 23rd), his government's first visit to the Gulf since the shock resignation and return of the prime minister late last year, AFP reported.
The "positive" visit, with talks on bilateral issues, was "an achievement in itself", said Lebanon's Minister of State for Administrative Reform Inaya Ezzeddine, speaking at a reception for the Lebanese community in Kuwait City.
"The Emir of Kuwait expressed his readiness during the bilateral talks to support Lebanon in all files, and for Kuwait to back Lebanon in the region," she said.
The delegation met with the Kuwaiti Fund for Arab Economic Development, which Ezzeddine said she hoped would bear fruit for Lebanon's revitalisation plans.
"This government is in the process of developing new economic and development visions and God willing we will secure ways to finance them," she said, adding that Lebanon was working to finalise financial studies ahead of a planned support conference in Paris.
